Can you see the snowman? ...

Cooper made an ice lolly stick snowman at school. .. he was going through his bag of crafts from school and proudly showed me where he'd placed it on the tree...

It's been a trying day... but it has to get better... it's nearly Christmas after all. ..

I really miss my family at this time of year. .. South Africa and new Zealand are just too far away... wish we could all be together for Christmas. ... this time of year gets tugging at the heartstrings. ..
